A SOURCE OF WEALTH.
Sorghum as Factor in tho Developr, ant
of Texes.


Waco Examiner.
The Examiner esteems the agricultural
industry the prime source of wealth, snd
for It's full development will foster every
agency and urge every improvement. The
recently discovered process for convert
ing sorghum into fine white grsnulsted
Sugar, stands next IN the procession Of
progress to the Bessemer process for con-
verting iron into steel, aud is destined TO
prove a greater god-send to the masses.
Sorghum grows to great periec-
ton in Texas, in fact, in al
soils and climates that will produce
the cereals, cotton or grass; and now
that experiment has demonstrated its
great value it is reasonable to assume
That the alliance will not only investigate
the subject and plant largely, but apply
their theory Of cooperation IN the estao-
lishment OF mills in every community.
The yield of sorghum per acre may be
carried to marvellous results. One gen
tleman reports 200 tons from nineteen
acres and another twenty-six tons
from two acres. These crops
were sown for forage, and re-
ceived only ordinary attention in
cultivation. 1t is believed that with
greater care and the application of w.ter
by the perferated-pipe system of irriga-
ton, much larger yield may be secured
By the new process it costs 80 cents to
manufacture 100 pounds OF granulated
sugar from the sorghum stock, and the
stock is not even then rendered wholly
valueless; cattle and hogs MUNICH it for
the last drop Of saccharine Juice,
and fatten upon the nutriment. The
state OF Kansas offered premium of 2
cents pound for five years. for the in
Yention of process to make sugar from
sorghum that would compete with the
product OF the Lou siana cane, and there
IS, therefore, royalty of cents on every
pound manufactured. The price fixed By
the discoveries, 10 the trade, IS 5 cents |
per pound, showing clear profit over the |
cost OF manufacturing and the premium,
OF fl cents per pound. Now, it is we'll |
known fact that sorghum is crop that |
VSithstands the drouth better than any |
crop we have in Texas, thatit is, prscti- |
cally, certainty, and that it requires but
little labor In planting and cultivation.
The heaviest work is In cutting and haul
,ng 1t to the mill, and this may be regard,

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1G, 1851

The plan reported as originating
with Senator Stanford, to bring actual
Immigrants intending to settle in Cali
fornia at a merely nominal cost OF
Transportation, is one of the most I'M
portant measures to the State broached
for many a day. While Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin, and the
Territory of Dakota, in spite OF their
climate, distressing hot as it is in sum-
mer and as disastrously cold in the
winter, have increased in population
at a marvellous rate, we have grown
very slowly, if the last few years are
omitted from the count. The only
reason for this fact is that the section
of the Union embraced by the States
referred to has been easily reached
from the Atlantic seaboard, the center
of native population and the
landing place OF immigrants
from foreign lands. The ex-
pense of travel from Boston or New
York to Milwaukee or st. Paul has
been the merest tri1e, while to cross
the continental divide and reach the
sunset sea required a large outlay.
Remove that obstacle, insurmount-
able as it is to thousands who would
be very glad to change their skies, and
they will change for the sunny cline
of California in preference to Dakota,
or any other Territory or State in the
Union. The railroads learned an i'm
portant lesson on the low fares and
freights of the war of rates last win
ter. In spite of the impression enter
tanned by the roads that those cut
throat prices would ruin them, it was
found at the end of the year
that more money had been
made than ever before. The State
was settled up, and her resources de-
yeloped beyond all expectation. The
increase of local business more than
made up for all lost otherwise. What
a commentary this on the employ
ment of Chinese in the work OF inter-
nal development of any sort! Had
these never come to our shores the
population of California would be
to-day more than twice what it is.
But if the railroads will adopt the
Senator's plan and put the rates SO
low that We can compete in this
respect with the Northwest, the
change wrought by such liberal
policy in the next five years will be
wonderful beyond Imagination or Gre
dence.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-16

JUDGE HAGER, Collector of the PORT
at San Francisco, has made strenuous
efforts since he took possession OF that
Office, to enforce the act OF Congress
restricting the immigration OF Chinese.
In these efforts it is well known that
he has been met at every point by the
interference of the Federal judges,
who upon the most seemingly fimsy
pretenses have set the Mongols free
under writ of habeas corpus. At the
same time the Collector has been
instant in preventing the importation
Of opium without paying the excise
duty on that drug. These efforts Of
